Engine Install Problem!
I went by the friend mechanic of mine and he had a tool he let me borrow. The bushing went in with no trouble and is in better condition than when I installed the first one with a socket. LOL!
In the picture the transmission is all the way in the motor and is hitting the back of the crankshaft. I took a measurement from the motor to the transmission and it is 6 3/4" .... the bellhousing is 7 13/16" so that means the transmission input shaft has to come back out a little bit over a 1" which is super.
The mechanic and I talked about the situation and he really thinks I had it almost together. But the clutch was off enough to not let it fall into place. The idea of leaving the pressure plate loose until the transmission is in place sounds very inviting.
